PHRM 770 Pharmacokinetic Principles and Application
This course introduces pharmacokinetic principles and therapeutic drug monitoring. Students will gain an understanding of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination of drugs, focusing on quantitative aspects of these processes. Pharmacodynamic and clinical implications will be explored, including how to formulate appropriate dosing regimens based on patient specific physiological and environmental factors. Pharmacokinetic variability caused by differences in intrinsic and extrinsic factors will be discussed. Didactic course work will be further emphasized via clinical cases in a laboratory setting.
